Winter Solstice Peace Circle

“Into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely.” — Edna St. Vincent Millay

Opening up to the Dark and Discovering the Light

Finding Courage to Free Your Truth

Come. Together let us nurture our spirits and plant seeds of our soul’s dream through ritual, reflection and renewal.

This Peace Circle is for those who want to gather and celebrate Winter Solstice. Amidst the anxiety, the clamor of voices that polarize or fray our nerves, let’s allow ourselves to just be ‘still’ and listen in the quiet, in the dark, in the surrender of what is seeking to be birthed in the Great Mystery.

Winter Solstice has long been recognized as the first day of winter – the shortest and darkest day of the year. It occurs when the Northern Hemisphere is furthest from the sun. According to its Latin roots, the word solstice means “sun standing still,” and winter solstice has been recognized across many cultures as a time to celebrate the gradual return of the light. Winter Solstice can be a ceremony to signal a clear end of one stage of life and a conscious beginning of another. It is mirrored in nature, as the seeds are buried in the darkness of the Earth, to emerge once again with the life-giving rays of the Sun.

This Peace Circle is an invitation to join and answer our heart’s call to act with courage, to step into the dark of the season and free ourselves from what hides our truth. Just as with the Solstice energy, this is a circle to renew our connections to one another and with the numinous through acts of goodwill, special rituals, and heightened awareness.

Circle Facilitator,

Shirley Lynn Martin

What we will do together:

    1. Be still and offer gratitude for what has been, for what is and for what will be;
    2. Remember the lessons and teachings; to harvest the wisdom of 2020;
    3. Plant the seeds of our imaginings and truth for spring 2021;
    4. Join in the collective dream of a kinder and more honest world together.

  • You have a vision and inner calling of peace on earth that requires your attention, awareness, passion and courage.
  • You are looking for a sacred, safe and confidential space to share your vision and nurture the inner wisdom you have as a visionary of real and concrete peace on earth.
  • You are looking for others who will hold the power of stillness, practise the path of inner stillness in body, mind and heart with you and claim your inner wisdom to manifest the peace you are called to create in our world.

Find what you are looking for in Peace Circle. Come into stillness and experience the blessing of your own truth and wisdom. You will be blessed with sacred qualities that become the way you engage and lead through your vision of peace on earth. The time is now. The Earth is calling the visionaries forward to lead. Let’s gather.

This Peace Circle coincides with the Winter Solstice – the longest night of the year. This is a mystical time … Light is reborn and Hope is renewed. There is no better time or way to celebrate the Light and Peace around and within us. Please join us in Circle.

Shirley Sept 2015 sideMy name is Shirley Lynn Martin and I’m passionate about activating peace in our hearts and ways of being. I’m passionate about creating sacred space, where together, we develop our collective wisdom to best create a culture of peace and right relationship in every area of our lives.

I have partnered with Karen to create Peace Circles. As a facilitator, I bring 20 years of experience as a Soul Coach, Reiki Master/Teacher, whole life therapist and ordained Reverend. Peace Circles provides a great opportunity for me to bring together my training, my passion, purpose and wisdom. I’m grateful for my diverse formal (as well as informal) training, especially in the field of ‘Circle work’ from some of the best trainers in the field. I honour them as I now step into sharing Peace Circles with you.

 

karen-nov-16My name is Karen McCarthy and I am so happy to join with Shirley Lynn to offer to you the wonderful opportunity of experiencing Peace Circles. I have always had a passion for creating safe and sacred environments for people to come together in community to grow and transform their lives both personally and as a collective. As we transform our own lives, we transform our relationships, our communities, our world.

Along my own journey I have become a Reiki Master, Peace Circle Facilitator, a NLP Master and a dedicated Yogi. (The first part of my career was spent in the business world. I had the wonderful opportunity to work with and coach companies, helping them create dynamic and rich team environments that were based on shared values and principles with a clear, vibrant collective purpose.) All of these paths have nurtured my deep desire and commitment to offering Peace Circles to my community. Creating a rich and meaningful place where we can authentically share our stories, tap into our collective wisdom and magic that is circle and create more peace in our lives.

we hope you will join us on:
